DVA Compensation Claims
We prepare and lodge initial liability claims under the MRCA, VEA, and DRCA. We handle the evidence, medical liaison, and claimant report forms so your claim is strong before it reaches a delegate.
Permanent Impairment
We help you prepare for your PI assessment and make sure your impairment points and lifestyle rating reflect the real impact on your life.
CSC Invalidity Classification
If you've been medically discharged, your CSC invalidity classification determines your ongoing pension. We help with initial classifications, reconsiderations, and reclassification reviews across MSBS, DFRDB, and ADF Cover.
Appeals and Reviews
If your DVA claim has been refused or your CSC classification is wrong, we help you challenge the decision through reconsideration, the Veterans' Review Board, or the Administrative Review Tribunal.
Serving Veterans Across Melbourne and Victoria
Melbourne has a long military history and a large veteran population spread across the metropolitan area, the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, and regional Victoria. Many of our Victorian clients served at:
HMAS Cerberus (Westernport)
The Navy's primary training establishment. Almost every Navy sailor in Australia has passed through Cerberus at some point in their career. Many Navy veterans settle in the surrounding Mornington Peninsula area after discharge.
Simpson Barracks (Macleod)
Home to Army signals, intelligence, and logistics units in Melbourne's north-east.
Victoria Barracks Melbourne
Historic Army headquarters in St Kilda Road, housing administrative and reserve units.
RAAF Base Williams
Split across two sites at Laverton (west) and Point Cook (south-west). Point Cook is the birthplace of the RAAF and the oldest continuously operating military airfield in the world.
Puckapunyal Military Area
About 120km north of Melbourne. Home to the Army's Combined Arms Training Centre, School of Armour, and School of Artillery. Many soldiers settle in Seymour, Kilmore, or commute from Melbourne's northern suburbs.
